Curated by Anne Virgo, Director, Australian Print Workshop, this selection of prints is drawn from the collection of the Warrnambool Art Gallery and documents thirty years of Australian printmaking. Over 170 printmaking artists are represented in the Warrnambool Art Gallery Collection. The works selected for the exhibition at Deakin University represent a diversity of styles and approaches to the print medium. Also included in the exhibition are works by Yvonne Boag, Dean Bowen, John Coburn, Tim Jones, Graeme Peebles, Geoff Ricardo, Deborah Williams, Marion Manifold, Deborah Walker, Rona Green and many others.

The exhibition, which opened yesterday evening, focuses on the artists whose works appear in the forthcoming publication ContemporaryAustralian Drawing Volume 1 by Dr Janet McKenzie. It is held in conjunction with the 2010 International Drawing Out Conference at RMIT University.

48 teaspoons measure one cup. My own two contributions to One Cup are pictured above. The images reflect my longtime interest in Elizabethan miniature portraiture and Victorian mourning and sentimental jewellery.

About me

I am a visual artist who makes paintings, drawings, prints and book art. In 2009 I founded Moth Woman Press, through which I publish my zines and limited edition books, beginning with ‘There was once… The collected fairy tales’, a small anthology of thirteen original stories illustrated with my prints, paintings and drawings. Currently I divide my time between Melbourne and Ballarat in South Western Victoria.
